Just thinking out like loud and open to thoughtful feedback. Subject parameters might be too broad for a solid answer. Thanks for the info👍
Resale is valid question. Does a Roush engine drive down the resale price? To me, and others here, probably, yes, I'd have less faith in a Roush engine and thus might look elsewhere. But if you can independently evaluate the engine, make sure it's not leaking, leakdown and compression tests are very good and there are no problems, and you like everything else about the BDR, then buy it. You may have found one of their good engines.

I agree with Fordracing65, I would have even less faith in their FE lineup than the 427W lineup of engines.
